Read from here my friends and foes
For I know not of how
Or where, or when, or why you read
But I know you're reading now
Here goes the unexplainable
With reasons all too plush
I never thought my normal life
Would ever hurt so much
Here is to my parents
A verse laced with disgust
All traces of my fickle love
Are lost within my lust
The morals that you taught me
Were through acts, without a word
Teachers hands are glorious
To smack and spite and spur
Here is to my family
My brothers and my sis
Your the only loathing
That my daily life will miss
Here is to my smiles
How I cherish that so scarce
The feeling burns inside tender lips
-Relinquish all these cares
Captured times inside a jar
I wanton them away
Auctioned, each, unto a frown
And spitefully they stay
Here’s to schools that taught me
How to hide my pain
Above the sink, like waterfalls
My blood flows down the drain
Here’s to those than shun me
Too good for company
Now I'm antisocial
And It's me... Talking to me
I guess no body told you, ma
The stepping stones to Hell
One by one, you lay them out
And help me loath myself
Now these brutal minds can't find me
I guess they never tried
I guess if it wasn't for everything
Then I wouldn't have died
Blame it on depression
I don't believe in being sick
I'm well enough to kill myself
And make memories stick
I'd write forever, to entice you
Until my hand decides to quit
I'd piece the puzzle for you
But I believe in art to each secret
So here’s your puzzle, loving parents
Society and I
A funeral to make it seem
Like people should have cried
A shard of something perfect
I've left this photograph
And other bold reminders
Of a less-than-perfect past
Here’s the quiz that no one answers
And the mystery of "Why?"
But that’s something better left with us...
You, this note, and I
The art is in the portrait
Laced before your eyes
Your son of 16 years of age
A smoking 45
And if you still have questions
The years won't answer you
It's the unshed tears that linger
And speak the boldest truth
